The one...
One to one mapping is of the highest order attributed to the high cohesion and extrememly high coupling. This is a general theory in Mathematics and I guess the same holds for humans too. We need to identify ourselves with atleast one such individual. If this mapping is not present, we do realise that something is amiss. So do we go to any extremes trying to attain this?This is what must lead to what I term a "Subliminal level of existence" where only blood relations hold ground. It sounds like a paranoid's way out from commitments but if the gist is properly understood we can identify the value and importance of something like this holds in daily survival.
One mode of implementing this is by relinquishing the basic human tendency of expecting a caring and emotional response from people around you. The more we expect the more is the risk of ending up dissappointed. Like they say "the higher they go the harder they fall". So once you stop expecting people to behave in a certain manner, you end being contend with even the small joys that come your way.
And this ends up in you being an atomic entity. Unperturbed, undisturbed and unaffected by what is happening around you. You are above all. The sublime way of surviving...
